"Great Women of the Civil War"

This is the book I'm currently reading for the Reading Challenge. Female spies often carried secret messages under their big hoop skirts and in their hair! Mary Elizabeth Bowser was a freed slave who worked at the Confederate White House. She was educated and had a good memory, so she was able to recite Confederate war plans to Union leaders. I also learned that before the Civil War, most nurses were men.
